You keep telling yourself that you’re ugly,
How you can’t possibly love yourself cos every time you look in the mirror,
you don’t like what you see,
The stretch marks, loose skin, gap between your front teeth,
over analysing every single part of yourself,
destroying your self esteem,
constantly telling yourself how could anyone ever want you,
When even you don’t like your own body.
I wish I could make you understand that you’re perfect, just by being you,
and I’d tell you that every single day,
till you start to believe it too,
And I mean it,
I just wish you knew just how much I adore you,
How I love that even when you’re going through some of your toughest times,
you still put all of your energy into putting on a smile and acting like everything’s fine.
Or how I think you’re brave, intelligent, gentle, kind,
how you’re going to change the world someday with that incredible mind.
I hate seeing you cry,
because every time you look in the mirror you see something you don’t like,
and I hate how much it hurts you every single time,
I wish I could take your pain away,
make you see what I see, and then maybe you’d change your mind,
I hate watching you beat yourself up all the time,
When are you going to realise that this ongoing battle you have with yourself,
it’s a losing fight,
You’re literally destroying yourself from the inside.
Trying so hard to be something you’re not,
when you’re already perfectly fine.
You’re a beautiful, walking, human sunshine in my eyes.
You keep comparing yourself to others,
when are you going to understand that being yourself is enough,
You keep seeking validation from other people,
When, what you really need, is self love,
Yes I know you don’t have the perfect body,
reality check, most people don’t,
So what’s the use in tearing yourself apart like this?
If you think it’s going to help you in anyway, well let me be the first to tell you -
it won’t.
I’ll never understand how someone so great, can think so little about themselves,
I watch you, unable to leave the house without make up
struggling to cope everyday,
and I just wanna be able to help.
You’ve reduced yourself to ugly,
you hide behind baggy clothes, watch what you eat,
Care so much about what people think that you can’t even walk down the street,
self hate has filtered it’s way into every inch of your body,
and it kills me,
to see someone I care about, be so incredibly unhappy.
I hope one day you can look in the mirror and live with what you see,
that it doesn’t hurt you so much anymore,
cos you understand that you’ve got more to offer to the world than simply being pretty,
No longer haunted by the scars on your skin,
but fights to be the change they want to see.
but more importantly,
Right now, in this moment,
I want you to know, just how incredibly perfect you are to me.

LyricsSometimes I wake up and I don’t feel great,
I feel insecure and worthless, and I can’t bring myself to put on a brave face,
and act like everything’s okay,
Cos I’m not okay,
I have this deep, dark, sinking feeling that I know,
I’m going to have to live with for the next few days,
all the hard work you put into building and loving yourself - so quickly replaced,
by self loathing, bitter, hate.
Why does my brain have to work this way?
I so badly wish it would go away,
so I distract myself by laying in bed and watching pointless videos all day,
But soon enough reality catches up with me,
the guilt kicks in and I’m left with overwhelming shame,
I struggle to live with myself knowing that my whole entire day just went to waste.
and I repeat this downward cycle again and again and again.
I know it’s just a phase,
and that I’ll have better days,
but right now I’m struggling,
and it doesn’t feel like it’s gonna change.
at least not anytime soon,
And I’m confused,
as to why I get these sudden drops in my mood,
I don’t know what to do
to fix these everyday blues?
all I know is that it consumes,
every inch of me,
my mind, soul, body,
I just need a quick release,
something to set me free,
from this heartache and misery.
But right now all I can do is live with it and
feel everything there is to feel,
no matter how much it hurts and destroys me,
I know that it’s through feeling pain that we can finally heal.
But sometimes I feel like I just want a break,
I don’t want to go outside and deal with people or put a camera to my face,
I want to hide, I want to be invisible, I want to escape,
go anywhere, anywhere but this place.
somewhere far far away
where no one knows my name.
But the reality is it doesn’t matter where I go cos the problem isn’t where I am,
it’s my brain,
sometimes it becomes too much and it feels like it’s filled with an overwhelming amount of hate
and I don’t feel strong enough to deal with everything it has to say,
the way it makes me feel and think,
It drives me insane.
And I get tired of fighting it,
it’s exhausting trying to be positive all the time,
It’s like fighting an endless battle that’s becoming harder and harder,
and to say I can deal with it, is a lie.
Sometimes I don’t feel strong enough
It’s like no matter how much I push myself, how much I do the right things
my mind is always going to win,
and I fear that one day I’m going succumb to it and I’m going to give in
I’m going to surrender to the pain and just exist.
When you feel so low you start to think so negatively,
you base your self worth down to likes, and views
and it’s just not healthy,
you’re falling down this downward spiral,
where you can read all the nice things in the world and still feel incredibly empty,
You start to think so little about yourself
that you genuinely believe that no will care about you if you were to leave.
and it’s such a sad reality,
cos I know that this person, who I am, is not me.
It just sucks cos I felt like I was doing so good,
I was just starting to feel like I had everything under control
and now I’m back to square one, starting at rock bottom, learning again how to crawl.
And I can’t help but think, that’s it’s gonna happen again, it’s only a matter of time,
till I next fall.

Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly figures of speech such as metaphor, simile and metonymy create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm.

And I

"And I" is a song written by American R&B singer Ciara, and produced by Adonis Shropshire for Ciara's first album, Goodies (2004). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on August 30, 2005 (see 2005 in music) in North America.

The song was originally the third choice for the fourth single. Ciara has mentioned in an interview that "Thug Style", "Hotline" or "Pick up the Phone" would be the fourth single, but when Ciara suggested "And I" to executives at her previous record label LaFace, they were unhappy because they wanted "Next to You" to be the fourth single.

Chart performance

At the time of the U.S. release of "And I", Ciara's collaboration with Bow Wow, "Like You", and her collaboration with Missy Elliott, "Lose Control", were at the height of their popularity. "And I" peaked at 96 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and 27 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, which were poor positions compared to those attained by the first three singles from the album Goodies. It was not released outside North America because of this, and it is Ciara's least successful single.

Spoken word

Spoken word is a style of entertainment involving performance-based poetry that primarily focuses on the aesthetics of word play and story-telling. It often includes collaboration and experimentation with other art forms such as music, theater, and dance. Performers may weave in poetic components - such as rhyme, repetition, rhythm, improvisation, and other traditional elements of poetry.

History

The art of spoken word has existed for many millennia. The tradition of the spoken word is particular to cultures around the world when oral traditions were the means to pass on the genealogical, historical, cultural knowledge and traditions of different geographical sects of indigenous peoples and civilizations; it was particularly steeped in the African traditions that also included drumming and dancing as a means to reinforce cultural mores, spiritual incantations, social practices and world views. This can also be evidenced in Native American and Aboriginal cultures. The Ancient Greeks included Greek lyric which is similar to spoken-word poetry in their Olympic Games.

LyricsSometimes I wake up and I don’t feel great,
I feel insecure and worthless, and I can’t bring myself to put on a brave face,
and act like everything’s okay,
Cos I’m not okay,
I have this deep, dark, sinking feeling that I know,
I’m going to have to live with for the next few days,
all the hard work you put into building and loving yourself - so quickly replaced,
by self loathing, bitter, hate.
Why does my brain have to work this way?
I so badly wish it would go away,
so I distract myself by laying in bed and watching pointless videos all day,
But soon enough reality catches up with me,
the guilt kicks in and I’m left with overwhelming shame,
I struggle to live with myself knowing that my whole entire day just went to waste.
and I repeat this downward cycle again and again and again.
I know it’s just a phase,
and that I’ll have better days,
but right now I’m struggling,
and it doesn’t feel like it’s gonna change.
at least not anytime soon,
And I’m confused,
as to why I get these sudden drops in my mood,
I don’t know what to do
to fix these everyday blues?
all I know is that it consumes,
every inch of me,
my mind, soul, body,
I just need a quick release,
something to set me free,
from this heartache and misery.
But right now all I can do is live with it and
feel everything there is to feel,
no matter how much it hurts and destroys me,
I know that it’s through feeling pain that we can finally heal.
But sometimes I feel like I just want a break,
I don’t want to go outside and deal with people or put a camera to my face,
I want to hide, I want to be invisible, I want to escape,
go anywhere, anywhere but this place.
somewhere far far away
where no one knows my name.
But the reality is it doesn’t matter where I go cos the problem isn’t where I am,
it’s my brain,
sometimes it becomes too much and it feels like it’s filled with an overwhelming amount of hate
and I don’t feel strong enough to deal with everything it has to say,
the way it makes me feel and think,
It drives me insane.
And I get tired of fighting it,
it’s exhausting trying to be positive all the time,
It’s like fighting an endless battle that’s becoming harder and harder,
and to say I can deal with it, is a lie.
Sometimes I don’t feel strong enough
It’s like no matter how much I push myself, how much I do the right things
my mind is always going to win,
and I fear that one day I’m going succumb to it and I’m going to give in
I’m going to surrender to the pain and just exist.
When you feel so low you start to think so negatively,
you base your self worth down to likes, and views
and it’s just not healthy,
you’re falling down this downward spiral,
where you can read all the nice things in the world and still feel incredibly empty,
You start to think so little about yourself
that you genuinely believe that no will care about you if you were to leave.
and it’s such a sad reality,
cos I know that this person, who I am, is not me.
It just sucks cos I felt like I was doing so good,
I was just starting to feel like I had everything under control
and now I’m back to square one, starting at rock bottom, learning again how to crawl.
And I can’t help but think, that’s it’s gonna happen again, it’s only a matter of time,
till I next fall.

You keep telling yourself that you’re ugly,
How you can’t possibly love yourself cos every time you look in the mirror,
you don’t like what you see,
The stretch marks, loose skin, gap between your front teeth,
over analysing every single part of yourself,
destroying your self esteem,
constantly telling yourself how could anyone ever want you,
When even you don’t like your own body.
I wish I could make you understand that you’re perfect, just by being you,
and I’d tell you that every single day,
till you start to believe it too,
And I mean it,
I just wish you knew just how much I adore you,
How I love that even when you’re going through some of your toughest times,
you still put all of your energy into putting on a smile and acting like everything’s fine.
Or how I think you’re brave, intelligent, gentle, kind,
how you’re going to change the world someday with that incredible mind.
I hate seeing you cry,
because every time you look in the mirror you see something you don’t like,
and I hate how much it hurts you every single time,
I wish I could take your pain away,
make you see what I see, and then maybe you’d change your mind,
I hate watching you beat yourself up all the time,
When are you going to realise that this ongoing battle you have with yourself,
it’s a losing fight,
You’re literally destroying yourself from the inside.
Trying so hard to be something you’re not,
when you’re already perfectly fine.
You’re a beautiful, walking, human sunshine in my eyes.
You keep comparing yourself to others,
when are you going to understand that being yourself is enough,
You keep seeking validation from other people,
When, what you really need, is self love,
Yes I know you don’t have the perfect body,
reality check, most people don’t,
So what’s the use in tearing yourself apart like this?
If you think it’s going to help you in anyway, well let me be the first to tell you -
it won’t.
I’ll never understand how someone so great, can think so little about themselves,
I watch you, unable to leave the house without make up
struggling to cope everyday,
and I just wanna be able to help.
You’ve reduced yourself to ugly,
you hide behind baggy clothes, watch what you eat,
Care so much about what people think that you can’t even walk down the street,
self hate has filtered it’s way into every inch of your body,
and it kills me,
to see someone I care about, be so incredibly unhappy.
I hope one day you can look in the mirror and live with what you see,
that it doesn’t hurt you so much anymore,
cos you understand that you’ve got more to offer to the world than simply being pretty,
No longer haunted by the scars on your skin,
but fights to be the change they want to see.
but more importantly,
Right now, in this moment,
I want you to know, just how incredibly perfect you are to me.

LyricsSometimes I wake up and I don’t feel great,
I feel insecure and worthless, and I can’t bring myself to put on a brave face,
and act like everything’s okay,
Cos I’m not okay,
I have this deep, dark, sinking feeling that I know,
I’m going to have to live with for the next few days,
all the hard work you put into building and loving yourself - so quickly replaced,
by self loathing, bitter, hate.
Why does my brain have to work this way?
I so badly wish it would go away,
so I distract myself by laying in bed and watching pointless videos all day,
But soon enough reality catches up with me,
the guilt kicks in and I’m left with overwhelming shame,
I struggle to live with myself knowing that my whole entire day just went to waste.
and I repeat this downward cycle again and again and again.
I know it’s just a phase,
and that I’ll have better days,
but right now I’m struggling,
and it doesn’t feel like it’s gonna change.
at least not anytime soon,
And I’m confused,
as to why I get these sudden drops in my mood,
I don’t know what to do
to fix these everyday blues?

But sometimes I feel like I just want a break,
I don’t want to go outside and deal with people or put a camera to my face,

go anywhere, anywhere but this place.
somewhere far far away
where no one knows my name.
But the reality is it doesn’t matter where I go cos the problem isn’t where I am,
it’s my brain,
sometimes it becomes too much and it feels like it’s filled with an overwhelming amount of hate
and I don’t feel strong enough to deal with everything it has to say,
the way it makes me feel and think,
It drives me insane.
And I get tired of fighting it,
it’s exhausting trying to be positive all the time,
It’s like fighting an endless battle that’s becoming harder and harder,
and to say I can deal with it, is a lie.
Sometimes I don’t feel strong enough
It’s like no matter how much I push myself, how much I do the right things
my mind is always going to win,
and I fear that one day I’m going succumb to it and I’m going to give in
I’m going to surrender to the pain and just exist.
When you feel so low you start to think so negatively,

You start to think so little about yourself
that you genuinely believe that no will care about you if you were to leave.
and it’s such a sad reality,
cos I know that this person, who I am, is not me.
It just sucks cos I felt like I was doing so good,
I was just starting to feel like I had everything under control
and now I’m back to square one, starting at rock bottom, learning again how to crawl.
And I can’t help but think, that’s it’s gonna happen again, it’s only a matter of time,
till I next fall.

Reading poetry in the age of anxiety - the only way to live: Garry Leonard at TEDxUTSC

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Poetry: From Pulitzer to Performance

Nationally-acclaimed poets Philip Levine and Ken Arkind share their work and answer questions at "Poetry: From Pulitzer to Performance" as part of the UW CommonBook's celebration of National Poetry Month.
The UW Common Book for the 2010-11 academic year, "You Are Never Where You Are," is a collection of poems compiled by the UW Common Book selection committee. Levine and Arkind are two of the 15 poets included in the book and are popular among students. Much of Levine's work focuses on blue-collar workers in urban, industrial landscapes while Arkind's background as a performance and slam poet lends his work more of a raw edged musicality. The writers approach subjects differently but their attention to such contemporary issues as working, expression, and urban landscapes brings a depth o...

Nationally-acclaimed poets Philip Levine and Ken Arkind share their work and answer questions at "Poetry: From Pulitzer to Performance" as part of the UW CommonBook's celebration of National Poetry Month.
The UW Common Book for the 2010-11 academic year, "You Are Never Where You Are," is a collection of poems compiled by the UW Common Book selection committee. Levine and Arkind are two of the 15 poets included in the book and are popular among students. Much of Levine's work focuses on blue-collar workers in urban, industrial landscapes while Arkind's background as a performance and slam poet lends his work more of a raw edged musicality. The writers approach subjects differently but their attention to such contemporary issues as working, expression, and urban landscapes brings a depth of attention, thought and artistry to these issues

You keep telling yourself that you’re ugly,
How you can’t possibly love yourself cos every time you look in the mirror,
you don’t like what you see,
The stretch marks, loose skin, gap between your front teeth,
over analysing every single part of yourself,
destroying your self esteem,
constantly telling yourself how could anyone ever want you,
When even you don’t like your own body.
I wish I could make you understand that you’re perfect, just by being you,
and I’d tell you that every single day,
till you start to believe it too,
And I mean it,
I just wish you knew just how much I adore you,
How I love that even when you’re going through some of your toughest times,
you still put all of your energy into putting on a smile and acting like everything’s fine.
Or how I think you’re brave, intelligent, gentle, kind,
how you’re going to change the world someday with that incredible mind.
I hate seeing you cry,
because every time you look in the mirror you see something you don’t like,
and I hate how much it hurts you every single time,
I wish I could take your pain away,
make you see what I see, and then maybe you’d change your mind,
I hate watching you beat yourself up all the time,
When are you going to realise that this ongoing battle you have with yourself,
it’s a losing fight,
You’re literally destroying yourself from the inside.
Trying so hard to be something you’re not,
when you’re already perfectly fine.
You’re a beautiful, walking, human sunshine in my eyes.
You keep comparing yourself to others,
when are you going to understand that being yourself is enough,
You keep seeking validation from other people,
When, what you really need, is self love,
Yes I know you don’t have the perfect body,
reality check, most people don’t,
So what’s the use in tearing yourself apart like this?
If you think it’s going to help you in anyway, well let me be the first to tell you -
it won’t.
I’ll never understand how someone so great, can think so little about themselves,
I watch you, unable to leave the house without make up
struggling to cope everyday,
and I just wanna be able to help.
You’ve reduced yourself to ugly,
you hide behind baggy clothes, watch what you eat,
Care so much about what people think that you can’t even walk down the street,
self hate has filtered it’s way into every inch of your body,
and it kills me,
to see someone I care about, be so incredibly unhappy.
I hope one day you can look in the mirror and live with what you see,
that it doesn’t hurt you so much anymore,
cos you understand that you’ve got more to offer to the world than simply being pretty,
No longer haunted by the scars on your skin,
but fights to be the change they want to see.
but more importantly,
Right now, in this moment,
I want you to know, just how incredibly perfect you are to me.

LyricsSometimes I wake up and I don’t feel great,
I feel insecure and worthless, and I can’t bring myself to put on a brave face,
and act like everything’s okay,
Cos I’m not okay,
I have this deep, dark, sinking feeling that I know,
I’m going to have to live with for the next few days,
all the hard work you put into building and loving yourself - so quickly replaced,
by self loathing, bitter, hate.
Why does my brain have to work this way?
I so badly wish it would go away,
so I distract myself by laying in bed and watching pointless videos all day,
But soon enough reality catches up with me,
the guilt kicks in and I’m left with overwhelming shame,
I struggle to live with myself knowing that my whole entire day just went to waste.
and I repeat this downward cycle again and again and again.
I know it’s just a phase,
and that I’ll have better days,
but right now I’m struggling,
and it doesn’t feel like it’s gonna change.
at least not anytime soon,
And I’m confused,
as to why I get these sudden drops in my mood,
I don’t know what to do
to fix these everyday blues?
all I know is that it consumes,
every inch of me,
my mind, soul, body,
I just need a quick release,
something to set me free,
from this heartache and misery.
But right now all I can do is live with it and
feel everything there is to feel,
no matter how much it hurts and destroys me,
I know that it’s through feeling pain that we can finally heal.
But sometimes I feel like I just want a break,
I don’t want to go outside and deal with people or put a camera to my face,
I want to hide, I want to be invisible, I want to escape,
go anywhere, anywhere but this place.
somewhere far far away
where no one knows my name.
But the reality is it doesn’t matter where I go cos the problem isn’t where I am,
it’s my brain,
sometimes it becomes too much and it feels like it’s filled with an overwhelming amount of hate
and I don’t feel strong enough to deal with everything it has to say,
the way it makes me feel and think,
It drives me insane.
And I get tired of fighting it,
it’s exhausting trying to be positive all the time,
It’s like fighting an endless battle that’s becoming harder and harder,
and to say I can deal with it, is a lie.
Sometimes I don’t feel strong enough
It’s like no matter how much I push myself, how much I do the right things
my mind is always going to win,
and I fear that one day I’m going succumb to it and I’m going to give in
I’m going to surrender to the pain and just exist.
When you feel so low you start to think so negatively,
you base your self worth down to likes, and views
and it’s just not healthy,
you’re falling down this downward spiral,
where you can read all the nice things in the world and still feel incredibly empty,
You start to think so little about yourself
that you genuinely believe that no will care about you if you were to leave.
and it’s such a sad reality,
cos I know that this person, who I am, is not me.
It just sucks cos I felt like I was doing so good,
I was just starting to feel like I had everything under control
and now I’m back to square one, starting at rock bottom, learning again how to crawl.
And I can’t help but think, that’s it’s gonna happen again, it’s only a matter of time,
till I next fall.
